Clinical Characteristics, Etiologies, Management, and Outcomes of Adult Exfoliative Dermatitis at Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, Thailand: A Prospective Cohort Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction Adult exfoliative dermatitis (ED) is a severe inflammatory dermatosis with heterogeneous etiologies and substantial morbidity. Hospital-based prospective data remain limited in Thailand. We aimed to prospectively describe the clinical characteristics, etiologies, management, and outcomes of adults with ED at a tertiary-care hospital in Thailand, and to assess changes during follow-up. Methods We conducted a prospective hospital-based cohort study enrolling consecutive adults diagnosed with ED from November 2024 to March 2026. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, prior treatments, clinical manifestations, and disease severity were recorded. Etiology was determined by clinicopathologic correlation and treating-physician adjudication. Patients were followed longitudinally for up to 12 months after diagnosis, and changes in disease severity and clinical outcomes were assessed during follow-up. Analyses were primarily descriptive. Exploratory comparisons across follow-up visits were reported using nonparametric tests with corresponding p-values. Results Thirty-four patients were recruited; two were lost to follow-up, and one had incomplete baseline data, leaving 31 for analysis. The mean age was 58.0 ± 18.2 years, and 74.2% were male. Most were managed as outpatients (67.7%), while 32.3% required hospitalization. Pruritus, scaling, and erythema were present in all patients. Nail involvement was frequent (64.5%), whereas pustules and mucosal involvement were uncommon (6.5% each). Systemic features occurred in a subset, including arthritis (25.8%), fever (16.1%), edema (16.1%), and lymphadenopathy (6.5%). Conclusions In this prospective hospital-based cohort, adult ED demonstrated uniform core cutaneous features with variable systemic involvement and a substantial proportion requiring hospitalization. These findings provide pragmatic clinical profiles to support early recognition and structured evaluation of etiology and complications in routine practice.
